I personally have never heard of this film, but by the reading it seems like a very interesting film. The idea of creating a virtual reality is an idea I find quite frightening. I feel the first person to test that out is playing with fire for there will always be a glitch in technology. I also find it interesting that this film was created in the…[Read more]

The Hunger Games has become such an influential film as its popularity took over the globe. I feel a big factor to the popularity of this world wide phenomenon stemmed from the novels that were written before it. In my eyes, any movie that becomes as big as The Hunger Games usually comes from a book that was written before it like Harry Potter.…[Read more]

I love Steve Carrell and Kiera Knightly so this movie was a pleasure to watch. This shows that not all science fiction films need to be very serious and intense as this movie contained some intense scenes, overall the drama wasn’t the main concern for this film. I would personally consider this movie more of a romance then science fiction so its…[Read more]

I’ve heard these songs before without knowing the band and I must say I have always found this music really intriguing and easy to listen to. I never thought that it would collide with science fiction, but as I pay attention its really interesting to see how science fiction can influence music so drastically.

Post apocalyptic movies have always intrigued me to see the different ideas one will create post a tragedy. The idea that this is futuristic while at the same point you are starting over. I really enjoyed watching Mad Max: fury road because it was action packed and kept me on my toes at all times.

Every film that I have seen dealing with time travel has always lead to issues. I agree with Justin in that it can become really confusing to think about time differences and time zones and how it really does not make sense. How can one go back in time, does the present then freeze during that time, but yet if that happens how does the present change?

I agree with Jane where I do not see the dinosaurs as monsters as I do what they are. The idea that the human’s recreated what was once around with expectations that no harm can come of it shows that even the smartest of people can make the dumbest mistakes.

I really enjoyed this movie. I feel there was a lot of action going on in the film along with many intriguing little story lines. I thought the music made a good interpretation of what was to come in the movie.

I never heard of Donald Fagen, but after watching his music video for the song New Frontier, before the lyrics came into play, I first thought I was listening to a Billy Joel song with some techno in the background. The music was very indulging and I found the music video to be entertaining. I didn’t feel at one point that I was bored. I feel t…[Read more]

I love Pink Floyd! I personally love any rock genre out there. I fully appreciate every sound being created at any period of time. There is no sound like Pink Floyd with all of their deep, luring voices and their “space rock” sounds.

This movie is a thrill to watch. Though I appreciate any old film and their technology at that time, the special effects in this movie were incredible. I found the acting top notch with an excellent cast. Definitely not what I expected as I had no previous background on what this movie was about, but it kept me engaged at all times. Great pick!

I personally love David Bowie, and even before taking this class and going in depth with science fiction films, etc. I always realized how different and iconic his music was, especially being the fact that he created these sounds in the 70’s. In my eyes, he revolutionized music with his timeless sound.

After watching Invasion of the Body Snatchers, although considered low budget, I can see how its considered a disturbing classic. I found that some of the themes that were being shown, such as communism remained very open to many different interpretations. Meaning that one could view what was being displayed very differently from the next. I agree…[Read more]

Though, like my classmates, I found the film very hard to sit through; I found it really interesting to hear that the directer William Cameron Menzies practically invented modern production design through this movie. I feel like this movie helped shape todays science fiction films.

After watching Metropolis for the first time, I was amazed at how technologically advanced the special effects were. Although I am not into silent films, I still appreciate how realistic the movie’s outcome appeared being that it was released in 1927. After this movie was released we can see how it has changed the face of science fiction movies a…[Read more]

As I watched this movie Blade Runner I found it both intriguing as well as confusing. If by choice, I personally wouldn’t choose to watch this film because of all the different types of characters the movie has. It leaves you with many questions, such as wondering what replicants really are. Not having a background on many of these creatures had m…[Read more]

The title of Morris’, “All Made Up” article focuses on many different theories about sex and gender. The title correctly correlates to the article because the author demonstrates the subject of his story through the title. The definition of gender can be thought of the title, all made up; there is not one definition to properly fit the word gende…[Read more]
